      sorry, what I mean is the Title looks like that before and as I type my 25cm...

      the two scale factors disappear as I type...

      maybe a better example, is after I type...
      moved with a corner handle, then typed...
      I'm still in the tool...

      it hasn't changed back to Measurements yet...

      once is has [changed back to Measurements], my shortcut keys work...

      are you using a mouse or trackpad?

      anything else you changed?

        I changed the preferences mac keyboard language (French keyboard , french numeric keyboard, American english ...) Nothing change.

        did you restart SU after that change?
        what do you get when you paste and enter this into 'Window' >> 'Ruby Console'

        Sketchup.get_locale
        

        if the keyboard changes have worked for SU, it should return... en-US...

          To be more exact, I work with French numeric keyboard .
          I have to type values ​​as [120;200] with ";" as separator.
          My os is maverick.
          Everything works fine as long as I do not type a letter corresponding to a keyboard shortcut.

          If I disable keyboard shortcuts "m" and "c" (Circle and Move) I can use values ​​with units again.
          A temporary solution would be to change the Circle and Move keyboard shortcuts.

          c'est pas un truc juste, c'est juste un truc!

            Is there any chance you're adding a space between the numeric and 'm'?

              It sounds like you have a conflict between the regional settings of your computer and the version of SU you are using.
              Are you using an English version on a french system? Perhaps it's not locking out the keyboard because it's thinking it's something else. Usually the relevant keys are ignored when in a specific tool but others still jump to a shortcut.
              For example I think if you type 30z when drawing a circle it will jump to zoom, but 30s will change the number of sides as you know. So maybe the fringlish has it confused. I can't test my theory as I'm on my phone at the moment.

                I use a french SU version on a a french system with a french keyboard.
                Yes i restart SU after disable the pre-installed extensions and change keyboard pref.

                the ruby console displays this

                @dave : I do not add a space between the numeric and 'm'
                @box : yes, type 30z when i draw a circle jump tool to zoom, and i can't enter "s" because it jump to scale tool!

                  If as you mentioned earlier this is a fresh install, I would be uninstalling and trying again.
                  It sounds like a problem no one else has and I can't even come close to replicating it.
                  A reinstall or even a repair might sort it for you.

                      @box there is nothing to repair or reinstall on the mac version, it's now a preconfigured drag and drop app...

                      it will be the same every time...

                      removing shortcuts plists, empty trash, then restart...

                      may help

                      356CM [using KEYLOCK] also works here...

                        @ box. I've uninstalled SU2014 (su + layout + style builder)last week with CleanMyMac2. I then reinstalled. The problem remained.
                        @ driven. "c" or "C" gives the same.

                        thank you for your dedication

                          Hi folks,
                          since I change my hard drive and reinstall my operating system from a backup, everything came back fine.
                          have a nice day
